I went to Google and did a quick search on this error. The first posts it returned told me that gcc-3.3 couldn't compile some older versions of the kernel (e.g. 2.4.20, 2.5.76, etc.) because of code extensions that were no longer supported by gcc. Later versions of the kernel fixed this up. For a long time, gcc only generated warnings about this; by 3.3, it generated errors. If you want to compile older versions of the kernel, you need gcc-3.2 or earlier. This isn't a problem with the compiler or the kernel, but rather a mismatch between them. You might wanna look at: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html in particular, the "Before You Ask" and "When You Ask" sections. It would have helped you, and your potential respondents, a lot. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
